Black Tea Soap

Yesterday I received my order of activated charcoal, so I decided to make a Black Tea Soap. I love this fragrance because it’s a dry tea scent that is slightly sweet and has just a touch of milk.

The swirls are from the added activated charcoal, rhassoul clay, and titanium dioxide. I really like using rhassoul clay (aka moroccan lava clay) because it adds a nice slip to the lather and is supposed to be great for the skin’s elasticity and texture. The activated charcoal I used is from bamboo and I love the deep rich black it adds to the soap.

I will be unmolding and cutting the soap in the next few days. Check back for photos of the cut bars :D

Thank you so much Jodi! I use anything pointy that I can find right before I soap…ahhaha. For this soap I used a very long and thin spoon. Some other things I’ve tried are popsicle sticks, toothpicks, spoons, and even forks on occasion :D

Hi it's Jen! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog :) I live in Southern California and love to travel, cook, make candles, handmade soaps, and anything DIY. If you're into any of those things, stick around :D

Blackberries and Cream Loofah Soap ($7) is perfect for the summer. It is the scent of the juiciest and ripest blackberries with a dollop of cream. The loofah will help you exfoliate since summer is the season for shorts and sandals! #handmadesoap #summerfavorites #fruitsoap #exfoliating #prettyandperky

Easy One Pot Lasagna Soup tastes just like lasagna without all the layering or dishes! Simply brown your beef and dump in all ingredients and simmer away!

I'm really loving this gold detail at the base of the nail. My nail polish always chips so this would probably extend the life of the look! #nailpolishideas #goldnailpolish #simplenailpolishlook
